Toward understanding massive star formation

H Zinnecker, HW Yorke - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
Although fundamental for astrophysics, the processes that produce massive stars are not
well understood. Large distances, high extinction, and short timescales of critical …

The high angular resolution multiplicity of massive stars

BD Mason, WI Hartkopf, DR Gies… - The Astronomical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the results of a speckle interferometric survey of Galactic massive stars that
complements and expands upon a similar survey made over a decade ago. The speckle …

Inverse dynamical population synthesis-Constraining the initial conditions of young stellar clusters by studying their binary populations

M Marks, P Kroupa - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2012 - aanda.org
Binary populations in young star clusters show multiplicity fractions both lower and up to
twice as high as those observed in the Galactic field. We follow the evolution of a population …

Gradients of chemical abundances in the Milky Way from H ii regions: distances derived from Gaia EDR3 parallaxes and temperature inhomogeneities
